Talking Nano Video Series
This 6-part video series provides a basic Nano 101 introduction to nanotechnology, potential applications, implications, and impacts.
Product
Forms of Carbon
In this activity, learners interact with models of four different forms of carbon to explore how the nanoscale arrangement of atoms dramatically impacts a material’s macroscale behavior.
Product
Nano Dreams and Nano Nightmares
In this stage presentation, learners are introduced to nanoscale science with humor and puppetry.
Product
Sizing Things Down card game
In this activity, learners compete against each other (or the activity facilitator) to organize their hand of cards into lists of objects from largest to smallest.
Product
Tiny Particles, Big Trouble!
In this activity, learners investigate clean rooms by sniffing scents that are too small to see, trying on the head-to-toe suits that scientists wear in clean rooms, and manipulating pretend silicon wafers with tweezers.
Product
Exploring Materials - Ferrofluid
In this activity, learners investigate the properties of ferrofluid and magnetic black sand, learning that the surprising difference in the behavior of these two materials is due to size.
Product
Exploring Materials - Liquid Crystals
In this activity, learners will investigate the properties of a heat sensitive liquid crystal and make their own liquid crystal sensor to take home.
Product
Exploring Size - Tiny Ruler
In this activity, learners investigating just how small a billionth of a meter is by repeatedly cutting a paper ruler in half.
